This site is primarily dedicated to 17th and 18th century costume
in Europe and the American colonies.

On the Research page you'll find links to pages on existing items
of clothing, an article on 17th and 18th Century Scottish Costume,
a pictoral timeline of women's stays, a timeline of women's jackets,
and various other stuff I'm working on.

On the Patterns page you'll find period knitting patterns, instructions for making a shift
fitted to your dimensions, directions for fitting and sewing 18th
c. stays, and links to other patterns online.
